The recent buzz around Non-Fungible Tokens (or NFTs) can be attributed to the sale of memes, photos, digital artwork and other audio-visual assets for millions of dollars. Not long ago, the CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, sold the first-ever published tweet as an NFT for a whopping USD 2.9 million, while the renowned ‘Disaster Girl’ meme was sold as an NFT for about USD 500,000. The term ‘Non-fungible’ primarily refers to the novel and non-replaceable nature of a material. For…

Details of Recently Patched VMware NSX Vulnerability Disclosed
VMware this week announced the availability of a patch for a high-severity vulnerability affecting the NSX Data Center for vSphere network virtualization product.
Security researchers warn that some cybercriminals are infiltrating Microsoft Teams accounts to enter chats and spread malicious malware to participants in the conversation. More than 270 million users rely on Microsoft Teams every month, despite the absence of protections against malicious files. Researchers at Avanan, a Check Point company that secures cloud email and collaboration […]
The U.S., EU, and UK are coordinating a significant sanctions and export controls package to be implemented if Russia takes further action in Ukraine.
Restrictions are likely to target key Russian industries including finance, energy, and defense and would be far more severe and far-reaching than past sanctions.
New export controls could include restrictions on foreign-produced items made using U.S.-origin technology or software,…
Portals is a browser-based metaverse powered by Solana that allows users to explore a massive city, socialize, make their own personalized spaces. One of the major problems in the continuous expansion of metaverses is its accessibility since it usually requires expensive hardware in order to experience. As a response to this problem, a project was launched […]
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Chris Lammons, 26, has been named as a fourth suspect involved in a battery case that police say allegedly occurred the night before the NFL Pro Bowl earlier this month in Las Vegas.

Following a sensational year with more than 7.4 million NFTs minted across 94,000 projects and a whopping one million wallets holding SOL-based NFTs, Metaplex Studios has now appointed Stephen Hess as its chief executive officer.
A multiple access channel describes a situation in which multiple senders are trying to forward messages to a single receiver using some physical medium. In this paper we consider scenarios in which this medium consists of just a single classical or quantum particle. In the quantum case, the particle can be prepared in a superposition state thereby allowing for a richer family of encoding strategies. To make the comparison between quantum and classical channels precise, we introduce an operational framework in which all possible encoding strategies consume no more than a single particle. We apply this framework to an $N$-port interferometer experiment in which each party controls a path the particle can traverse. When used for the purpose of communication, this setup embodies a multiple access channel (MAC) built with a single particle. We provide a full characterization of the $N$-party classical MACs that can be built from a single particle, and we show that every non-classical particle can generate a MAC outside the classical set. To further distinguish the capabilities of a single classical and quantum particle, we relax the locality constraint and allow for joint encodings by subsets of ${1lt Kle N}$ parties. This generates a richer family of classical MACs whose polytope dimension we compute. We identify a "generalized fingerprinting inequality'' as a valid facet for this polytope, and we verify that a quantum particle distributed among $N$ separated parties can violate this inequality even when ${K=N-1}$. Connections are drawn between the single-particle framework and multi-level coherence theory. We show that every pure state with $K$-level coherence can be detected in a semi-device independent manner, with the only assumption being conservation of particle number.
USPTO released a study on February 15, 2022 entitled “Patenting Activity among 5G Technology Developers”. The Report uniquely “examines overall patenting trends as well as trends in patent filings and value indicators in the four most-patented 5G-related technologies. The Report does not fully consider China's role as a major patent office in evaluating the quality of filings.
